[Mailman-Users] From: header rewrite?

[David Piniella]

I mentioned ezmlm because I know how to do it there and figured that it might make what I wanted to do clearer. I'm using postfix on that box I think, I'll look into doing it via the MTA instead of the list software, thanks!

Sorry, I don't know ezmlm, and I don't know that anyone here does.

However, header rewrites of the sort you're talking about would seem to be 
more appropriate to be done in the MTA, not the mailing list manager.

In Sendmail, postfix, or Exim, it should be pretty easy to make these kinds 
of changes by changing your "masquerade" database to rewrite these kinds of 
addresses.

I have no idea how this concept might be applied to your MTA, however.
